Wednesday, July 16, 2008 - Page 9 - The Herald, Barossa Valley www.barossa.yourguide.com.au barossaherald@ruralpress.com A NEW mechanical program for Barossa youth has received a huge funding boost. The Barossa Council has been successful in obtaining a $50,000 grant through the Crime Prevention and Community Safety Grants Program of the South Australian Department of Justice for the “Cars Because” project. Cars Because will involve eight young participants from the Barossa who will rebuild an old car over the next 12 months. Developing mechanical knowledge and skills will be an important component of the program. Now that the program organisers have the funding there are just a few boxes left to tick. One of the things they still need is the old car. And they are hoping there might be a vehicle sitting around in the back of a shed somewhere in the Barossa that someone might be willing to donate. They are looking for an Australian classic, perhaps something Ford or Holden, but definitely a model that would have parts available at a cheap price. A old red BMW had been lined up, thanks to Jarrod Sieber, but the availability and cost of parts was prohibitive. Brian Hurn, Barossa Mayor, said this is an exciting educational program and the council is pleased to have received the funding. “Amanda Veal, youth officer from Barossa Health will be driving this program with emphasis placed on working through road safety issues, responsibilities, behaviours and positive role modelling for the young people involved,” Mr Hurn said. “The young people involved will have a lot of fun doing it and will learn a lot of new skills. “I believe the youth and community development aspect of the program will also benefit the whole community.” There is already a handful of people and organisations who have committed to assist with the project, but the organisers are keen to hear from members of the public who might be interested in volunteering or assisting the program in some way. Expressions of interest will be sought from young people through local high schools, Job Network agencies, and members of the public. A Working Party has been put in place to select the eight participants, if a greater number apply to be involved. For find out more about the project, or if you have a car you are willing to part with, please call Sean Malone, the council’s youth development officer on 8563 8415. BUMPER IDEA: Amanda Veal and Sean Malone are looking for the rest of a car for a new mechanical program that will be run for young people in the Barossa.
